Typical areas of application for Spark Killer

Spark killers play a crucial role in electrical engineering, especially in applications where relays, contactors or mechanical switches are used. They reduce the voltage peaks that occur during switching operations and thus prevent sparking and premature wear of electrical components.

A classic example is their use in control and automation systems. Here, they extend the service life of switching contacts and ensure reliable operation. They also prevent unwanted faults caused by electrical surges in industrial plant control cabinets.

Spark killers are also used in electrical household appliances such as washing machines or air conditioning systems. They protect the internal switching elements and minimize noise when switching.

As an official distributor of Okaya Electric Industries, Rotima AG offers customized spark killer solutions for various applications - from industry to building technology. Our products ensure stable operation and a longer service life for electronic components.

What problems do Spark Killers solve in electrical circuits?

In electrical circuits, switching inductive loads such as motors, solenoid coils or transformers causes voltage spikes that lead to sparking on relays or contactors. These sparks cause rapid wear of the switching contacts and can lead to unexpected failures or malfunctions. Another problem is electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is caused by voltage spikes and can affect sensitive electronic components.

Spark killers solve these problems by dissipating the overvoltages and reducing energy before they cause damage to the switching elements. They minimize sparking and thus considerably extend the service life of relays and contactors. Especially in industrial automation, switch cabinet construction and control systems, spark killers are indispensable for ensuring reliable operation and reducing maintenance costs.

How do spark killers differ from varistors or suppressor diodes?

Spark killers, varistors (MOV) and suppressor diodes (TVS) are all used to protect electronic components from overvoltages, but have different areas of application:
  • Spark killers (RC elements) consist of a resistor and a capacitor and are specially developed to protect relays, contactors and mechanical switches. They minimize sparking and extend the service life of mechanical contacts.
  • Varistors limit high voltage peaks by becoming conductive at a certain voltage. They are particularly suitable for power supply units and sensitive electronics, as they absorb overvoltages very quickly.
  • Suppressor diodes (TVS diodes) work even faster than varistors and protect against very short, high-frequency voltage peaks. They are mainly used in digital circuits and sensitive microelectronics.
While spark killers are particularly useful for electromechanical switches, varistors and TVS diodes provide protection for electronic components and semiconductors.

When should a Spark Killer be used in a circuit?

A spark killer is required if mechanical switches, relays or contactors that switch inductive loads are used in a circuit. Such loads generate high voltage peaks when they are switched off, which can lead to sparking and rapid wear of the switching contacts.

Spark killers are particularly indispensable in industrial systems, control systems, control cabinet technology and automation technology in order to ensure a long service life for the components. They are also used in electrical household appliances such as air conditioning systems or washing machines to reduce disturbing noises when switching and to protect the electronics from damage.

Another area of application is power switches and power supply units, where spark killers help to prevent faults. If relays or contactors without spark killers fail frequently or sparks occur during switching, a suitable model should be retrofitted as a matter of urgency.
Learn more

How is a Spark Killer connected correctly?

A spark killer is connected in parallel to the switching contacts of a relay or contactor. This means that it is placed across the two connections of the switching contact in order to intercept voltage peaks directly and minimize sparking.

There are differences depending on the application:
  • Alternating current (AC) applications: Here, the Spark Killer is placed directly over the switching contact so that it reduces voltage peaks with every switching operation.
  • Direct current applications (DC): In DC circuits, freewheeling diodes or suppressor diodes are often used as an alternative to spark killers, as they are particularly effective at limiting voltage peaks.
It is important that the resistor and capacitor value are selected to suit the circuit. Values that are too large or too small can affect the switching times or not provide sufficient protection. Correct dimensioning ensures optimum protection and trouble-free operation.

What technical factors are important when choosing a Spark Killer?

When choosing a Spark Killer, various technical factors must be taken into account in order to achieve optimum protection:

  1. Voltage and amperage: The operating voltage and the switched current determine which Spark Killer is suitable. Typical values are 24V, 230V or 400V.
  2. Switching frequency: Frequently switched contacts require a more robust design to ensure a permanent protective effect.
  3. Type of load: Inductive loads such as motors generate stronger voltage peaks than resistive loads (e.g. heating wires). Stronger spark killers or snubber circuits are useful here.
  4. Ambient conditions: High temperatures, humidity or strong EMC loads affect durability. Spark killers for industrial environments must be particularly resistant.
  5. Mounting options: There are pluggable variants for top-hat rails or compact solutions for direct soldering into circuits.

Selecting the right spark killer can prevent failures, extend the service life of components and reduce maintenance costs.
